A Rare Offering – Nearly 10 Acres Straddling Waterloo & Wilmot

For the first time, this hidden gem is being offered for sale! An extraordinary opportunity to own nearly 10 acres of rolling countryside right on the line dividing Waterloo and Wilmot. Tucked away at the end of a private laneway lined with mature trees, the property opens up to reveal a serene residence perched atop the land, capturing sweeping views of colourful trees, ravines, and open skies. It is truly a private oasis where tranquility and natural beauty surround you. Once part of the historic Tamarack Ski Club, this land holds a sense of community legacy while offering endless future potential. Whether you imagine horses grazing, vineyard rows, hobby farming, or simply preserving its beauty as your personal retreat, the possibilities are as boundless as the views. The residence itself is a spacious bungalow of nearly 4000 sq. ft. of living space, offering 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Over the past decade, renowned Country Lane Builders and Homestead Woodworking have completed high-end updates to the home, enhancing both comfort and timeless style. Notable features include renovated kitchen, four fireplaces, cork and hardwood flooring, loads of built-in cabinetry, a triple car garage, and a Duradek vinyl wrap-around terrace that offers lasting durability and the perfect setting to take in the nightly sunsets. The home is wrapped in high-end vinyl siding imported from Portugal, marrying quality with distinctive design. Inside, the layout offers both function and flexibility: a formal dining room, separate living room, executive office, and a family room off the kitchen provide multiple spaces for entertaining and relaxation. The sun-filled library could be converted back into a primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite potential, making it an ideal option for future customization. The lower-level above grade walkout includes a recreational room, kitchenette, four-season sunroom with fireplace, and the private bedroom quarters, creating a peaceful retreat for family and guests alike. An elevator ensures accessibility between levels, while the main-floor laundry and a separate mudroom off the garage add thoughtful practicality. Outdoors, the expansive terrace extend your living space into nature, while the circular driveway provides both convenience and plentiful parking for hosting. Overlooking Schneider’s Bush Trail Head, this property connects you directly to one of the region’s most beloved natural areas, ideal for hiking, cross country skiing, and exploring right from your doorstep. Location offers the best of both worlds: a rural retreat just minutes from urban conveniences. Positioned at the edge of Waterloo Region, you’re only a short drive from the Boardwalk Shopping, Uptown Waterloo, and surrounding townships, with easy access to amenities, schools, and transit. Yet, when you’re home, it feels like you’re miles away in your own world of peace and privacy. Whether you wish to create a multi-generational estate, explore agricultural or recreational uses, or simply enjoy the land as a sanctuary, this property provides the canvas. With its natural features, historic charm, unbeatable location, and direct access to Schneider’s Bush Trail, it is a once-in-a-lifetime offering that must be seen to be truly appreciated.
